The weapon shaft will be held in by flat 5mm steel plates sandwiching the HDPE frame, with an extra square of 15mm HDPE at the top, easier to explain in pictures when it all comes together!

The weapon motor is a brushless motor from Overlander UK, it runs up to 6S but I'll be running it on 5S. I've calculated the tip speed will be 160mph, so the kinetic energy is a lot higher than my Beetleweight spinner. I've reinforced it a lot knowing the forces involved.

The plan is to run it at Robodojo or Extreme Robots, and as the build is progressing slowly I'm likely to have it done by the end of the year.
